NIGERIAN MOVIES MAKE WAVE IN SPAIN

The Spanish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Alvaro Alguela, on Tuesday said his country and the Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) had a collaboration to exchange movies produced by both countries.

He stated that the collaboration would promote the rich cultural heritage of both countries in the area of film production.

“We have collaborated with the Nigerian film festival, the Film Corporation and the Zuma festival.

“Two years ago, we received an award from the Nigerian Film Corporation for our co-operation with them.

“Having said that, our relations bring to Spain more Nigerian movies. Nigerian movies are not well known in Europe. It is not like the case in Africa.

“And particularly, there was a specific film festival for African movies in Spain which was organised first time eight years ago.

“It was the only film festival. The idea is to increase the participation of Nigerian movies in this film festival and in Spain in general.
